Today was Abbi's 18 month checkup. Waiting for them to call our name, there was a play station in the middle of the set of chairs and there was a mirror attached...she got so excited she kept looking in the mirror and saying "Abbi" it was so darn cute. She weighed 22 lbs 12 oz which is not a whole lot for a one and a half year old with her nine month appointment she weighed 19 lbs. So her percentile is rapidly declining, her head circumference as well has not grown very much. The doctor after commenting that she had dropped and that this was normal, says she is tall! She is still in the ninety fifth percentile for height, though in the fiftieth for her weight. She is 34 inches tall! Almost three feet!
The nurse came in after the doctor had left and gave her a hepatitis A shot, something new for this age. Alona didn't have one at 18 mos. Of course she freaked out when given the shot. She did not want to lie down. She kept screaming afterwards, and was a little antsie when trying to get her clothing back on. Though the moment that I put her shorts on and pulled them up, the band-aid was no longer visible and the screaming ceased. Wow instant memory loss, just cover up the band-aid and she totally forgets it all. That was the funnest thing to watch.
Tonight before putting them to bed Abbi comes up and says, "Eyes". She had Paul's glasses for work and wanted me to put them on her eyes.

She is so adorable. That is my favorite age. About a year and a half to three years is when I think they are the most fun! Thanks for sharing!
A tall skinny kid? Who'da thunk it? Sweet Abbi...I miss not seeing your babies grow up. :(
Her smile is so infectious. I love her dancing eyes and giggles. She even says the word 'no' with such cuteness it is hard to take her seriously. But then again I don't think she is being all that too serious when she says it.I have never seen an 18 month old enjoy watermelon with such passion.
We enjoyed both their company at the Stake Cookout last Saturday.
Alona was having a ball playing in the TeePee with the friends she had just made.Playing in the sand and eating ice cream. She speaks so intelligently and with such expression, I love having conversations with Alona.
The two of you make pretty adorable children, I can't wait to snuggle against Kacen's cheek and learn to know him too.
luvya! Marta
